As said above, I hope that's never the case. Do a touch and go at a regional to break 1500. Mil won't have to wait that long after 1500 hours, know of several hired at legacies with less than 2000TT. Know of one who got 800+ in the Navy and as soon as SHE got 1500TT at the regional, got the notification from Delta.

AA and UA were both at the convention. As I recall both presenters were asked that question and both said no. They're still looking for applicants to have the minimums that are listed on their websites.

Before covid, Patty said that they would run different scenarios in the application software daily, changing parameters and they would pull different applications. Small changes in things like PIC time, advanced degrees versus bachelors only, different military criteria, etc... Each change would bring up a different list of applications that they would review. The "minimums" would change daily, sort of. They would make small changes to see what applicants would come up.

Exactly
Agreed. Don't forget FDX.
There are a LOT of LCAs headed for other carriers. And there are a LOT of guys applying for LCA seats because they (probably correctly) assume that as soon as they add that to their Apps elsewhere that that will radically increase their chances of getting the call they want.
I can also say at PSA there are more than a few who'd like to be at AA, but are choosing other airlines because the increased hiring is seriously devaluing the flow for them. When we only flow 10 / month regardless of how many AA hires, and AA more than doubles how many they're hiring every month, that's a lot of seniority to give up.
So yeah, I think the only thing that would cut it is Seniority, and I think APA would be very reticent to allow that, or at the very least needs to leverage that for all it's worth. That said, that also requires the brain trust in DFW to see it as a problem in the first place. Given that they got rid of all the Group 1 aircraft while other airlines have added some, who knows.....
